Once you say "namespace xyz ;" everything in the file is now relative to
namespace xyz. To refer to the global namespace, you use the following
<?php
namespace xyz ;
function substr() {
return true ;
}
substr(); // calls substr in current namespace
::substr(); // calls substr in global namespace
?>
